I got my fix this morning with a fab lil jump lesson. Leo: not amused by my picture taking or saddle pad slippage, but he was loving the jumpies (finally got his ears up!). Next stop: VISITING MY IN-LAWS NEW FARMETTE AND IM SO EXCITED. #futurehorseretirementfarm?
It’s Monday but thankfully my old man floof is cute as ever and it’s giving me life. Fun fact: the markings on his face are called a bandit mask so clearly [one of] his nicknames is The Copper Bandit and his favorite food is tortillas. Hopefully that helps you through your Monday. #todayyoulearned #miniaussie #bigdogenergy
The forecast for this morning was heavy storms but up woke up to sun so I basically jumped out of bed, threw on my riding clothes and headed to the barn. Leo was so down for our property exploration aka trail ride. I always love the days I’m able to go out and just enjoy riding with no pressure, especially after our kick ass jump school earlier this week! Also swipe to see his adorable non-reaction the to white barrel, his prior nemesis. #braveboy #adultammystrong #betweentheears #winterincalifornia
My newly perfected-ish horse cookie recipe up on the blog just in time for Valentine’s Day! Also, make sure if you’re sharing horse treats with barnmates, share an ingredient list! Because I forget every time. #whenyouwanttobake #butyouonadiet
This view! One of my favorites. Dude will stand outside in the sun (or rain, really) all day long and I’m kind of jealous. California’s version of the polar vortex is on its way and I’m hoping for one last good lesson tonight! #adultammystrong #equestrianblogger #smartpakstyle #🥶
Momentary blue sky from Saturday morning, just over here getting ready for my 3 day weekend! No I don’t continuously skip work, I work 9 hour days which evens out to a day off every other week. #bestschedule #awws
Congratulations Savannah and Bryan, your wedding was as beautiful for your love for each other. And I cried way too much. #congratulations #greatday4awittwedding
📍 Happy Place, CA On a trail ride with his favorite mare and don’t mind the mane, its a work in progress! #wip #happyplace
I had a great lesson this morning (in the sun!!!) mostly working on taming my rogue right hand. Leo was soo excited to jump, it was frickin adorable. Hubby is in Vegas for a bachelor weekend so I’m doing a complete konmari apartment overhaul this weekend! Are you more of a hoarder or neatnik? #neatfreakforlife
